Nice Ike score today

[Lawrence]

Up at a bank in another town today. Asked for halves and got $1 of clad, but while I was there a teller was counting out Ikes to a woman who was looking for certain dates. After she left I bought $50 worth. I could have gotten another $20, but when I came back later with more cash that collector had cleaned them out.

No silver, but don't these things sell for a premium?

I sold some clad Ike's that I've found over the past couple of months for a small profit from an ad on Craigslist just last Sunday. I only got $125 for 115 clad Ike's but a small profit is better than nothing. And it was a quick and easy transaction so I was happy.

Sold my Ikes on Craigslist today. Got $65 for the 50.

I'd say you did quite well. A quick 30% profit is very good indeed - esp for CL.

I've got about another 100 or so in clad Ike's - maybe I should try another ad. I don't think I could get $130 though. I was lucky to sell the coins I sold the last time. I had the ad posted for a week and got only one responder - but he responded 3 times so maybe he'd be interested in buying more.

Are you posting it all at once? I'd probably try smaller lots if you haven't already.

It seems like no one where I live is interested in buying clad Ike's - except the one guy I sold to recently. I had 200 or so Ike's a year or two ago and had an ad on CL for at least a few weeks for only $210 or so and I didn't have any luck at all. I was just trying to get rid of them but no one wanted them. I think the only response I got to my ad was someone wishing me good luck. Maybe he was the same guy who dumped them at the bank I got them from.

It seems other people like yourself seem to be able to make a nice profit with them though. Who knows, maybe if I try another ad I'll get several responses and get 20% or more profit too.

I can usually get at least $100 on a road trip. Nobody wants them around here

You're doing good. I hope to be selling another 100 or so for a $10 profit this weekend to the same guy I sold to a month or so ago. Small profit but it's better than nothing.
